cleaning a coin can reduce its value, and generally coins should not be cleaned. Can you post a picture of this coin?

A silver 2 pence would not really be affected by vinegar in the first place. My bet is that you polished it which is probably what caused any visible damage.

Also, a 1717 2 pence is not worth very much money, even in higher grades. I doubt you "ruined" the value of the coin, as the value was negligible in the first place.
